Ring in the 2026 with a walk or bike ride along the ocean! Last year was so much fun. It’s a great way to kick off the New Year.
Our friends at Sundance Outdoor Adventure Society have once again invited us to join them in kicking off the New Year with an easy scenic bike ride or a fun walk along the spectacular dunes and Atlantic Ocean here in Rockaway. Friendly, free, and open to all.
DETAILS:
Both bicyclists & walkers start at 11:00 am sharp at Rockaway Ferry Dock, Beach 108th Street and Beach Channel Drive.
The two groups plan to meet up at again E Sushi around 1:45 for optional late lunch.
BIKE RIDE:
Easy intermediate-level route of approximately 19 miles over 2 plus hours throughout the Rockaways. We will also follow the 5.5-mile long boardwalk. Please wear a helmet!
EASY WALK: We plan a gentle 5.5-mile walk on the paved boardwalk as we stay close to the ocean and look for nesting terns and plovers amongst the surfers and dog-walkers. If we’re lucky, we may even spot some seals, dolphins, and humpback whales! Binoculars provided!
LATE LUNCH: Walkers and cyclists plan to meet at E Sushi, 215 Beach 116th Street in Belle Harbor for lunch and drinks at 1:45 pm (vegetarian options).
